Themed birthdays are something mostly reserved for young children and rarely associated with senior citizens. However, a video of an 89-year-old’s birthday is proving this perception wrong.
Instagram content creator Sneha Desai, who goes by the username @littlemisschatterbox28, recently shared a video that documented her 89-year-old grandmother’s Victorian-style, high-tea-themed birthday.
In the wholesome clip, Desai documents how her grandmother got dressed in a full-length lilac gown. To finish the look, Desai’s grandmother wore make-up and accessorised with a hat and hand gloves, and carried a hand fan. The video also showed how the whole family got dressed as per the theme.
The video of the birthday celebrations, posted on Instagram on September 24, has gathered over 1.6 million likes.
